One of the most challenging and educational weeks you can ever spend is to join us at the Wayumi training center for jungle ministries among tribal peoples. This Fall Break at Liberty University 15 students were trained in many of the skills necessary to proclaim the gospel in another culture and language in a remote part of the earth. One/third of the world's population live among Unreached People Groups speaking one of the 1800 languages that have no translation of any portion of God's Word in their language. Since Jesus said the task of His followers would be to take the Good News of His sacrifice on the cross and His grace to offer full pardon to all who hear and believe in Him, then all of us must play a part in assuring that the gospel is understood by all people groups regardless of how difficult that might be.…

We love to criticize anyone who disagrees with our opinions and to call them “heretics” for their different view. For the sake of clarification and distinctions made in the NT, this blog will describe four categories of different viewpoints.

I coach golf. One of the first things I tell a student is that I will tell them to do things that may feel uncomfortable, awkward or seem ineffective. They must make a decision to trust what I tell them or never improve. If they only partially, or not at all, believe that I know what I am talking about, then inevitably they will not pay attention to what I tell them. However, after I demonstrate how to do it and they want to be able to do it as well, then they gain more confidence.

Are you working on a sermon or message on missions? Quotations from missionary leaders like William Carey and Hudson Taylor have served as battle cries for the Christian missions movement. World evangelism has advanced with inspiration provided by missionary slogans like these. Slogans often keep our hearts on fire for the world. "God's work done in God's way will never lack God's supply" -- Hudson Taylor

As a professor I wish we could focus on some specific skills that future missionaries will need to know. Experienced missionaries have a set of skills that we should pass on to our students (if we could and if we would). Our problem is that professors are boxed into an academic environment that does not give credit for some of these essential skills. I do not mean to devalue the academic, but rather I think we could add to the theoretical some practical skills and understanding, but it probably will need to be extracurricular. The need to understand religions, cultures, cross-cultural communication skills and how to contextualize the gospel and Bible teaching will always be necessary.
